I want to put a Windows 7 installer on a OCZ Throttle and install from it using eSATA.

Some guy tried it here: http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58874&highlight=throttle

But it seems Windows wrote the MBR onto his OCZ Throttle.

How do you fix the MBR on the OCZ Throttle and on the computer?
